Vincent Thierry (ID: 000000c0bdaf4aa5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/28/2024 I was excited to try this, but sadly it does not work for me Edit: Figured out how to use it. There has to be a space behind the colon. Edit (23.02.2024): It just stopped working for me. (Also I love this Extension and hope it gets fixed soon. Will update as soon as it works again) Edit (28.02.2024): It works again, thanks for fixing it :)

Vincent Schmandt (ID: 0000002ac8cc7af0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/27/2024 I love this extension! Always fixed rapidly if a Google Calendar update breaks it. :)

Avern Williams (ID: 00000072461013eb) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/11/2023 This is wonderful; thank you!!! The _only_ reason I held back from 5 stars is that it doesn't yet support multiple tags for a single calendar event *fingers crossed it's coming soon* Even with that minor inconvenience, this extension has already proven extremely helpful! For anyone stating they can't get it to work or that there are no options, try this: 1) Title your calendar like this: "tagname: xyz" where: - "tagname" is whatever label you want - your tagname is immediately followed by a colon then a space - "xyz" is the actual title of the event 2) Save your event 3) Refresh your calendar to view the changes PRO-TIP: You can even incorporate emojis as part of the tag...for example: "🎯 To-Do"

Steve Magruder (ID: 000000cc0a36cfb9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/07/2023 Works well except all the tag backgrounds are white. I thought they would show with different background colors as shown in the example.
